The short film Actions vs. repressions gives a voice to Russian anti-authoritarian activists from the Autonomous Action groups in St. Petersburg and Ufa, Anarchist Black Cross of Moscow and St. Petersburg and Vsevolod Ostapov, who got brutalised by Police in April of 2007 and whose case became a rallying cry for a significiant campaign against police brutality in Moscow during last two years.

The movie was originally produced for the European tour of Russian hardcore band What We Feel in the autumn of 2009. In the beginning of February 2010, the band announced that it will soon break up, due to having reached everything it could artistically and due to increasing repression against the band by government authorities.
